Drug testing on animals is still done in regulated conditions and is usually done after further testing has been done on the drug, so yeah what you did is actually illegal and constitutes as animal abuse.

I think the concept of finding it entertaining kind of defines where his moral is

As fucked as this is, you can't "teach" someone to be a psychopath
This is cool. Instead of killing them I can make them my own personal robocop.

What about video games?
Insects don't feel pain, at least not like we do.
[QUOTE=Desuh;42811427]What about video games?[/QUOTE]
I hope you're being purposefully fallacious. You can teach people how psychopathy works, and what psychopaths do, you cannot induce psychopathy that easily. Just playing a game, or experimenting on insects isn't anywhere near the requirements to induce mental illness.

what about them

whether you overdose them or give them an acceptable dose it's still fucking creepy

It isn't even a being bro, I can say with the utmost confidence that it has no idea that it even exists.

that's done for a beneficial reason other than sick kicks

your title is spot on

I might be wrong, but last I knew, Cockroaches weren't capable of complex thought and were more along the lines of a biological machine. They don't feel pain either.
I honestly detest cockroaches, and I don't feel the least bit sorry for them.
They might feel pain (not to a degree such as other, more advanced organisms), but they aren't sentient and are merely pests to kill off.
So you can survive nuclear fallout, huh? Well how about you try and survive 9am traffic [I]when I make you walk through it![/I]
So much sympathy for cockroaches here. What's next? People rally for equal cockroach rights?
I'm not worried of the cockroaches as they are fairly worthless critters. I'm worried that this will advance to something beyond bugs someday.

I think we should stop using cars and computers cause they should have rights too

actually let's extend rights to clothes too, because they should have the right to independence and not be slaves to their human overlords
[QUOTE=Zonesylvania;42807291]clever. Make one post that says that rats, mosquitoes, and cockroaches need to go extinct, and people generalize it by pointing out that the poster knows nothing about how ecosystems function.
My argument stands because without mosquitoes for instance, we'll be out around 5 million deaths a year and 25-30 million cases of long-term hospitalization, not to mention the billions in healthcare costs it would save. Please enlighten me on what place a parasitic biting insect is supposed to have in the ecosystem that doesn't cause direct or indirect harm to the life around it.
The Black Death spread to Europe via shipboard travel of Norwegian rats, carrying fleas along with them, among other causes. Hell, even fleas need to take off from existence, for the other stuff they carry. And thanks to the Black Death, Europe was out some 75-200 million estimated deaths.
Ecosystems aren't going to collapse completely if you remove parasitic insects from the equation. Cockroaches may just be scavengers, but it's because they scavenge so much that they can pick up all kinds of diseases, which get transmitted to anything they come in contact with directly or indirectly. They're also one of the most resilient organisms in all of nature, being postulated as the only organism that might be capable of surviving the effects of a nuclear blast relatively unharmed. Frankly it's useful as research potential just to proof mankind against the effects of nukes in the future.[/QUOTE]
The cockroaches at my work die when you douse them in cleaner, bleach, wd 40, and other assorted chemicals. They are not these super resilient creatures. They are just hard to exterminate from buildings since they like to go everywhere and you have to kill every last one of them to fully get rid of them.

they have tasted freedom, burn them before they revolt
I don't see how modifying a roach would upscale to a kid becoming a mad scientist experimenting on elephants-- and roaches are absolutely useless like ticks considering how many there are(i.e. eek go away i'll never do this experiment i wouldn't touch a roach)

Considering how advanced the nervous systems in higher creatures are compared to insects and cockroaches, it's quite unlikely to happen for a massive amount of time.

Ssssshhhhh! You're giving them ideas!
What I would like to know is if the same process could be applied to humans? Kidnap a small child off the streets, dip them in ice water, use sandpaper to remove the hair and waxy skin on the head, super glue circuit board to back, insert electrodes into ears, etc?

Yes I've done it.

This is straight up animal cruelty, no question about it.
I don't understand why controlling cockroaches is so angering to some/most people. I've always thought of insects as being closer to organic machines than mentally aware creatures. I'd be plenty pissed if we started doing this to mammals or reptiles and the like, but I don't see what's so terrible about doing it to insects.
That said, I'm not too well read up on the brains/neural networks (since in some cases it's not a distinct, single brain) of insects, so if someone could present to me some kind of evidence that insects have emotions or feelings, whether they're similar to mammals' or not, I'd be happy to change my stance.
[editline]10th November 2013[/editline]
I don't agree with the purpose of this however. I'd prefer we not open this up as being a casual household thing. Never saw a problem with the scientific testing, but this is just stupid.

i think he means the american cockroach you see that spreads filth and diseases, not the exotic ones like the hissing cockroach.
I tried this today but my blunt isn't moving
